You keep saying a bell has no emotion as if it’s an objective fact. - I disagree and it’s a very subjective thing. Depending on specific design, they tend to sound shrill and insistent to me. Not so bad used at distance.
Good good, a lot of people do the on your left thing and it ends poorly.
Yes I do say it as fact, it is an inanimate object and emotions are left to animals such as humans. The bell can certainly have different sounds and people can interpret those sounds how they desire using their own emotions but the actual object itself has nothing. I have loads of bells and they don't feel sad or happy or anxiety or whatever other emotions one can feel they just sit there in their metal glory (mostly Spurcycle or Crane). Now the human using the bell could be emoting but the bell itself is just making noise as that is pretty much all it does.
